In this section, we evaluate Independent PPO (IPPO) on 16 maps from the StarCraft Multi-Agent Challenge [1]} maps, performing only mild hyperparameter tuning for individual maps (see Table REF ). SMAC consists of a diverse set of StarCraft II [2]} unit micromanagement tasks of varying difficulty, where a collaborative team of SCII units needs to defeat an enemy team of units controlled by the built-in AI. SCII units consist of a balanced set of both melee and long-range attack units (plus healing units, medivacs) and winning strategies often entail precisely coordinated unit movements strategies, including kiting [3]}, in order to gain positional advantages. For all our experiments, we use game version \(4.6\)  and select the hardest AI difficulty level.
